“We Share Similar Characteristics”: Andrew Jacked Picks His Greatest Bodybuilder Ahead of Arnold Classic 2023

Over the years, the sport of bodybuilding has evolved in different ways. However, the dominant trend in the evolution of the sport has been the prioritization of muscle mass. After Dorian Yates kicked off the mass monster era in the early 90s, bodybuilders like Ronnie Coleman redefined muscle mass. However, in recent years, bodybuilders have also begun forcing on proportions and symmetry. Rising prospect Andrew Jacked is among the new generation of bodybuilders who give equal priority to muscle mass, symmetry, and conditioning.

Recently, Andrew Jacked appeared on the latest episode of Cutler Cast. While speaking with four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler, the IFBB pro revealed who he considered being the greatest bodybuilder of time. While Jay Cutler thought it would be Ronnie Coleman, the Arnold Classic Amateur winner named another 90s bodybuilder.

Who’s the greatest bodybuilder of all time for Jacked?

During their conversation, Jay Cutler asked Chinedu Andrew Obieka to name a bodybuilder who impressed him. However, he diverged from the question and implied the IFBB pro sees Ronnie Coleman as the greatest bodybuilder ever. The eight-time Mr. Olympia ruled the bodybuilding stage from 1998 to 2005. Cutler lost to ‘The King’ four times despite his best efforts before defeating Coleman in 2005.

However, according to Obieka, Ronnie ‘The King’ Coleman wasn’t the greatest bodybuilder of all time. “I’m a Flex Wheeler fan. Flex Wheeler fan,” said the 2022 Texas Pro winner. “I was a fan of him and we shared similar characteristics,” added Obieka. Before the 2022 Mr. Olympia, Flex Wheeler also helped Andrew Jacked improve his posing. 

The Sultan competed in the 90s. He gave six-time Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates and later Ronnie Coleman a run for their money. While Wheeler never won the Mr. Olympia title, many fans consider The Sultan of Symmetry, the greatest bodybuilder of all time. Wheeler’s focus on symmetry, proportions, and posing set him apart from most bodybuilders of his era.

“He was unbelievable in his heyday bro,” reaffirmed Jay Culter. The four-time Mr. Olympia also recounted the meeting Flex Wheeler in Gold’s Gym in the 90s. “I was 19 and Flex Wheeler walked in… just everything (muscles) was round,” Cutler said about the legendary bodybuilder.

The bodybuilding legend Jay Cutler makes a bold prediction

Andrew Jacked is preparing for the Arnold Classic and is among the favorites to win it. Obieka will face stiff competition from Nick Walker, Shaun Clarida, Samson Dauda, and others. However, unlike last year’s Mr. Olympia prep, Obieka is in good health.

Jay Cutler revealed the Texas Pro winner impressed immensely at Mr. Olympia 2022 despite being sick. “I mean I’ve never seen anyone walk out on stage, and just stand and just blast it like everyone off the stage,” said Cutler. According to Cutler, Andrew Jacked has everything he needs to win the Arnold Classic but needs to nail the conditioning.
